This piece from Arido jewelers is worth a fortune!

I was blown away by Arido. This is a jewelry line that makes million dollar jewelry pieces. Arido loans out luxury pieces for A list celebrities to wear on the red carpet. The representative from Arido said the box of jewelry at the event was with 50 million dollars. The pieces were amazing. Of course there was gold, diamonds, and other semi precious stones. Each piece was more amazing than the last.
